    Thank you, lol.

    Important Note #1 Yes, it is the inconsistency that gives me pause. This is the only example of a concrete year of time movement (usually it's vague to preserve some semblance of normalcy) and it appears alongside other dates that did not move with it.

    Important Note #2 Yes, it's entirely conceivable that more than a year of time has passed in the main scenario, but that's not the same thing as the open world experiencing a movement of time. Based on what we know, no matter what happens, even if you were to cram 5,000 days into the main scenario, the world shouldn't age into 2 Seventh Astral Era. It's a Simpsons-like "time-stoppage" to keep the text in order. If that changes, we need to know as soon as possible so we can start <winces at the thought> being ready to calculate what year things happened based on where the NPC is and when they were last updated when they say how long ago it was.
